During the Gears of War competitive showcase livestream The Coalition Studio Head Rod Fergusson announced that Gears of War is going to delve into eSports in partnership with Xbox, ESL and Twitch.
Legend has it that this list of the best Xbox One Co-Op games is so good, it may require four people to fully enjoy.
Daily Video Game writes: "CDKeys is featuring various digital titles on sale with huge discounts for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC gamers right now! The savings vary depending on what game you want to purchase, but you could save up to 90% off of them, and that's pretty awesome."
The issue with these sites is that 'some people' buy keys in sales with stolen credit cards, then you buy the game from them...Then the company get the chargeback so it actually costs the game company money. I'm not convinced this is a vast majority though as pretty sure if it was a fraud site it woud just be closed down. Only issue I've had with an invalid key was for splinter cell blacklist for 38p. Pretty sure that is penny fraud. i.e. most people won't bother disputing as it's not worth it.
IGN sit down with members of The Coalition to discuss how Gears esports has grown over the years.
GoW eSports? Got to say I'm surprised, but why not I guess!
Awesome news! I love the competitive focus MS is placing on Halo and Gears of war. Xbox is really on track to becoming the definitive platform for competitive console gaming.
Here's hoping this stuff lifts off and gains in popularity, despite the more limited access people have to consoles over PC. All in all this is looking great for the eSports industry - keep it coming!
